I highly recommend this tour especially if you want to explore rural area like Kurokawa Onsen but coming to Fukuoka with small group or even alone. Tour is very nice and punctual, the guides are helpful (they have multiple speakers in Korean, Chinese, and English).

Thank you to Gogoday Travel for the arrangements. We realized we booked the wrong tour the day before departure, and they allowed us to change to another tour! The guide was also very attentive in explaining each attraction and giving tips!

I was very satisfied with this daydaygo Kumamoto tour. The tour guide's service was very professional and enthusiastic. Everything was perfect 😄 except for the regret that Mount Aso's crater was not open.

Highly recommend this tour! We were very lucky to have guide Wang Bao Cai that day. He was very professional and made decisive judgments, slightly adjusting the order of the itinerary so we could successfully see Mount Aso. After we finished eating at Kusasenri, the crater was closed! We're so glad that Guide Wang made the right decision! Guide Wang explained every part of the itinerary in detail, allowing us to experience a perfect trip and leave with wonderful memories ❤️

The tour guide and driver were both very responsible and patient. Although the weather was foggy and Mount Aso wasn't ideal, the overall experience was still very good.

This time, following Mr. Liu's itinerary, the good weather and the guide's proper arrangements allowed us to successfully see the entire view of the Aso volcano crater. I highly recommend joining the one-day tour. In addition, following the experienced guide Mr. Liu, he is always able to thoughtfully remind us of how to perfectly avoid crowds or the best photo spots, allowing us to have a smooth and worry-free journey.

I've been to Japan many times, and this time I'm alone. I wanted to go to Kumamoto, but the transportation from Hakata is very inconvenient! So I booked a tour! At first, I was worried that the experience wouldn't be good, but I was overthinking it! First of all, I want to thank our tour guide, Ms. Zhuo Yanzhi! Although she is Korean, she speaks both Chinese and Japanese, and is currently learning English 🌝, which is really amazing! There were Koreans and Japanese on the bus, but Ms. Zhuo didn't show any favoritism and took care of everyone. The weather wasn't good, and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to climb the crater, but the tour guide and driver arranged a very reasonable route so that we could make it! Mount Aso's crater is really beautiful 😍, but it's too smoky to stay for long. Next time, I'll book a different route if I have the chance. See you again if we're destined to meet!
